Growing up life got harder for me and it was not easy. when i was 3 years old my dad got arrested for stealing, a computer he was trying to get money so he could buy dippers for me. when i was 6 years old my dad finally got out of prison. then when i was 8 my mom decided that she could not handle me anymore, so she called my dad and told him to come and get me. i did not understand why my mom did not want me , but that's the thing i was too young to understand anything. from that moment on i went back and forth from my mom to my dad. then when i was 12 i got put on probation for theft i stole candy out of my teachers desk. After that about three months later before my 13th birthday i got arrested, for running away from home i did not got to a detention center luckily. About 2 weeks after my 13th birthday i got arrested for running away from home again so they had enough of me running so they sent me to Henry County Youth Center, for 3 days. It was not enough to stop me from running again. When i got home i planned to run again on Friday, my plan worked. I jumped out of my 2 story window at 10:00 when i knew for sure my dad left for work. I would never run when my dad was home because i knew that he would stop me, and i could not take that chance. SO i took of running and i was gone for almost 2 weeks then i turned myself in because i missed my dad. Thankfully they just sent me back home i stayed put for 1 month then i started to run again. this time i was going to make sure no one would find me, but this time my planned failed i was caught within 7 hours and i was taken back to Henry county and i was there for 2 months then i escaped there facility and when they found me i got sentenced to 5 months in girl school. I hated it there so bad i Got out 2 days after my 14th birthday. I was so happy to see my dad and i promised him that i would never run away from home again. I did good for about a year then i ran away again and i was gone for 3 weeks then the police found me and i went back to girl school this time i was there longer then the last time. I got out 3 months after my 15th birthday and i did not run for 5 months now i am locked up again for runaway and for skipping school. I had court in April of
2013 and i was sentenced to 6 months in Lexington Academy it is a residential that is going to help me with my runaway problem and my alcohol problem too. I have been in and out of juvenile facilities half of my teenage life when i get out this time i am not going to run anymore. i have learned my lesson this time i lost everything that i have ever wanted because of my problems. Now i am almost 16 years old and if i could go back and change anything it would be running away from home i have really messed up this time not only for my self but i have let down my dad once again. I can honestly say there will be no more running away form home for me i am done i have my whole life ahead of me. And a family to take care of.

And that is my life story and how i changed GOD saved my life forever.
